With a number of cosy nooks to hang out in and communal areas leading out to the pool, Bronze Glow allows for moments of reflection, conversation and rejuvenation. Packed with yard games, an outdoor grill and a kitchen fit for chefs, there's plenty to keep you busy, yet what made our jaws drop was the fantastic location. Within a short drive, you can hop through at least nine sprawling golf courses and explore at length the shops, restaurants, casinos, cafes and nightlife opportunities in Old Town Scottsdale. With activities like hiking, biking and baseball, there's plenty of reason to pull yourself out the pool and get exploring.

Home truths:
*The fourth bedroom with two beds doesn't leave much space for unpacking
*The third bedroom is newly renovated but lacks some circulation space
*Despite the amazing location, the views aren't too inspiring
